It is a fairy tale comeback for a party and leader who had been written off by everyone after the 49-day government in Delhi and the mauling in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. But soon after the Lok Sabha election disaster, the much-maligned Aam Aadmi Party and its founder-leader Arvind Kejriwal started the ground work to regain Delhi's trust.

Faced with insurmountable odds, Kejriwal started by getting the basics right. Focusing solely on Delhi, the AAP did not take the electoral plunge in any other state elections.

Kejriwal started with doing the unthinkable. He tendered an apology to the Delhi voters claiming that he had made a mistake and not any crime by resigning in 49 days. What was considered his biggest handicap soon became his most potent weapon.
